Non-canonical functions of UHRF1 maintain DNA methylation homeostasis in cancer cells

Abstract DNA methylation is an essential epigenetic chromatin modification, and its maintenance in mammals requires the protein UHRF1. It is yet unclear if UHRF1 functions solely by stimulating DNA methylation maintenance by DNMT1, or if it has important additional functions. Using degron alleles, w...
